A Huffington Post article published online Tuesday included Brevard College as one of the nation's “Colleges Most Obsessed With Squirrels.”

The article says students at Yale University returning to campus noticed there were fewer squirrels, and assumed there had been a conspiracy to get rid of them. That conspiracy theory prompted the Huffington Post to compile its list of schools, in no particular order, where students love their campus squirrels.

Brevard College — home to a healthy population of white squirrels — was listed alongside Cornell University, the University of North Carolina and the University of Notre Dame as having an unusual liking of the furry critters.
